Jazzberry Ram… Oh the memories of High School
My sister got me onto these guys during High School. Thought I would share. Super Fishy Allah Tea is my favourite album of these guys, which I lost years ago and have been trying to find ever since. I guess I’ll have to buy it again… Hmmm, I wonder if they released it on Vinyl…
Here’s their song Pablo Jack Horner to give you an idea who they are.

The Current Education System and The Overuse of Ritalin
The RSA.org has a wealth of information on a multitude of topics.
This lecture was done by Sir Ken Robinson, world-renowned education and creativity expert. He makes some very good points throughout the lecture. One that sparked my attention was that the over prescription of Ritalin to combat the so-called ADHD epidemic is wrong and unnecessary.
Take a look, it’s worth it.
Cheers,

Messing around with Logos
Thought I would take a stab at making a logo for the site… Any thoughts?
Bill C-393
So the house of commons last week passed bill c-393 to rework Canada’s access to medicines regime. A piece of legislation that would allow Canadian generic drug companies to provide drugs to multiple countries under a single liscence. These drugs would be used to combat aids/hiv among other diseases. Currently the legislation needs to pass the senate before it will come into effect. If the senate does not pass it before an election which by most accounts is very likely to happen in the immediate future, the bill will be killed. I ask that any of you that read this blog take a few minutes to send a message to the Canadian senate to pass this bill. Its easy to do simply follow this link, fill in your name and click send. http://www.avaaz.org/en/save_lives/?fpla

Bertie Beaver The Canadian Smokey the Bear
Bertie Beaver was the Mascot for the Alberta Government back in the day. Along the same lines as Smokey The Bear but better.

“Saskatchewan” The Movie (1954). It’s Old School.
Saskatchewan Movie
Where oh where is this movie? I have to find it, watch it, and comment on how bad and/or good it is. Have you seen it Julie?
EDIT – Some of the comments on IMDB ARE PRICELESS….. check it out at
This is from someone who was actually on the set during shooting of “Saskatchewan” in the comment section on IMDB. I have not edited this any way.

I was there on location for this film and it was filmed mostly in Alberta in the vicinity of Lake Louise and Banff. It rained a lot during the filming and a lot had to be redone at the studio. I was an extra and mostly rode horses and was a dead man in several scenes. As a kid it was a great experience.
Alan Ladd was wonderful as was Carrol, Shelly and Raoul. They fed us well and we stayed in small out buildings, like motel buildings, near the Banff Springs Hotel.
I had to leave early to do a film with Jeff Chandler and I had a commitment at the Pasadena Playhouse at that time also. My last theatre work was in 1960 when I had to give up show business for health reasons — I needed to eat!
Hope this clears up the question of where it was filmed.
